completed build

This will be my second build log. I have already completed the Grand Banks Dory and Norwegian Sailing Pram. I saw the Peapod at half price so I picked it up. According to the instruction manual, the peapods originated in Maine in the 1800's and were used for one man lobster work until the...

My new hobby started summer of 2023 with an RV vacation that included a visit to historic Lunenburg, NS. While there we got to walk the decks of the Bluenose II and meet the captain. I saw many pricey prebuilt models of the Bluenose while there and once home was inspired to build my own. I...

This is my second wooden ship model and its the second in a 3 boat series from Model Shipways. After completing my first model, the Grand Banks Dory ( https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/build-log-lowell-grand-banks-dory-1-24-by-roscoe.13515/ )I thought this would be smooth sailing but I...

This is my first thread posted in this build log. I took a 30-ish year hiatus from ship and boat building to work on my model railroading hobby. I now have a completed model railroad layout. During that time, I did build a few ships and boats to incorporate into the scenes but they were all...

Hi all just I’m at the final stretch of building my Dory. Sorry not much of a build log as I have almost completely built it. I have to say this was a most enjoyable build I did run into a few problems along the way with the tombstone being too high and other things which I hadn’t realized till...

(Sorry, I don't translate well, that's why I use Google Translate.) I would like to tell everyone, for inspiration, the story of the construction of this favorite ship of mine. The main thing in life is not to lose heart! :) I built it a long time ago when I suffered severe injuries to both...

Hello) I present to your attention the construction of the Swedish 62 gun ship "Ömheten". Third ship of the type "Kronprins Gustaf Adolf" Project of the famous shipbuilder Frederik Henrik af Chapman. There was very little information on this ship, so I did not complete all the decoration of the...

Hello. I have been registered on the forum for several years now. But I don't translate well. Now I am writing through Google Translator. I once built the Danish frigate "Lille Belt" of 1801, scale 1:78 (all my models are built only in this scale :) )...

Good morning, SOS. And welcome to my new build log. Having just successfully completed HMS Blandford I am attempting something completely different, a 1:16 scale Sopwith Camel from a kit by Artesania Latina. I was bought this by my wife as a Xmas present, I’d given her a shortlist of suitable...

My nearly first attempt for a wood kit is the Occre Polaris. I already started with Amati greek bireme before, but stopped it because I realized that I'm not ready for it. Maybee I will continue later with it. I ordered the Polaris starterset...

Hi everyone! So far I've been quietly reading and watching some of your awesome projects, in both the scratch and kit section. Today I'm starting a thread about a project that's finished by now, but I think will be of interest to some of you. The original build log was published on the Dutch...

The Fog Warning, painted by Winslow Homer in 1885 To end the 2023 year with finishing at least one model, hence helping novice scale modelers who are just new to the hobby or switching from plastic, I decided to assemble the Lowell Grand Banks Dory, the kit made by Model Shipways (beginner...

I have not posted for some time but I am pleased now with progress. Much of the paintwork done and now building the spars. Had some difficulty finding doweling of the right proportions. Solution came in the shape of an old child's fishing rod; cut that up, just the job. Don't worry the child...

My kit arrived so i will start my build log the box says everything i need so this is a build straight out of the box nothing fancy, no additional tools, no kit bashing so lets get started.

This ship has already appeared in one thread, but as a mention. Thank you so much for noticing and appreciating my father's work. Today I want to present a more detailed description of this masterpiece, made by the hands of my father. This entry is a translation of my original article. If you...

Hello ship modellers. I am going to do a very simple sort of retro log of the Wappen Von Hamburg that I built about 12 years ago, let me explain how my introduction to this hobby came about and how I ended up building this model. I started the hobby about fifteen years ago after a hand issue...

Hey guys, I wanted to share and document my journey through my first build. After countless videos, messages, posts, articles, I purchased my first kit from OcCre and have now started. I am buying tools, etc. along the way and will comment on those as well. I appreciate any and all...

Since a few of the members here are trying their hand at making a decent model out of the cheap Chinese Halcon or Harvey Baltimore sloops, and since I had a Halcon kit sitting around for a year of so, I started a speed build of it with bashing limited to deadeye, cannon, and blocks replacements...
